Step-by-Step Guide
Locate the Opening
The first step is to find the opening on the bottom of your key fob. This is where you will insert your flathead screwdriver.
Make sure your screwdriver is not too large or too small. It should fit snugly into the opening.
Insert and Twist
Once you have your screwdriver in place, push it down and twist. You will need to use some force to open the key fob.
If the key fob doesn’t open immediately, you can use your fingers to pry it apart gently. Alternatively, continue working the screwdriver around the opening until it loosens.
Remove the Old Battery
After opening the key fob, locate the battery. Use the flathead screwdriver to get under the battery from the large empty space and gently lift it up.
Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR2032 battery and make sure the positive side (marked with a plus sign) is facing down. Place it into the slot, pushing it towards the metal component first and then snapping it into place.
Ensure the battery sits flush and flat in the compartment. If it sticks up, adjust it until it fits properly.
Reassemble the Key Fob
Line up the two halves of the key fob and squeeze them together. You will need to apply some pressure to snap it back into place.
Go around the edges to make sure the key fob is fully closed and secure.
